CHAPTER 642: 642-THE HORNY ONE

Helanie:

I rolled my eyes, wrapping my body perfectly in the blanket while holding my phone in my hand under the blanket.

Me: Not really.

I saw him calling me the very next moment, so I silently got up and went to the balcony once again. I sat down on the floor and noticed the sky. Winter was coming. I remembered how long last winter was last time. But sadly, when it came back, Salem wasn’t with us.

"What is it?" I asked in a whisper, trying not to wake anyone else with the call.

"Ahhh!" he suddenly let out a sigh, and my body visibly shuddered. Thankfully, he couldn’t see me.

"Kaye told me what has been decided." He was either sleepy or was trying to seduce me. His voice was so fucking husky, and my mind kept reminding me of the whispers from him in my ears on the night of the crazy night.

"And did he not tell you that I have not decided yet what I need to do with the two of you?" I used a sassy tone because I was still angry with him over that night’s issue. And even if not, I wanted to give him a hard time like he was giving me that other night.

"Ah, I don’t care about that. I know you will be in my arms soon," he mumbled confidently, almost like he was tired but wanted to keep talking to me.

"That is the mistake you are making. You know I am very stubborn, Maximus," I said with a shrug to my shoulders, feeling good about myself for keeping a stern stance with him.

However, the minute I said that, he started switching to a video call, and my heart missed a beat. What was he trying to show me?

"What are you video calling me for?" I questioned, trying to sound annoyed.

"Why? Too afraid I might show you something you cannot touch tonight? Are you feeling bad? Jealous?" His voice was deeper due to being sleepy, but that’s when he sounded more cocky, and I grunted under my breath angrily.

So, in anger, as always, I switched to the video call, and a loud yelp escaped my lips. He had his phone placed on a phone holder on the bedside table while he was lying shirtless in his bed. I could see his black shorts and muscular legs. His muscular back looked so yummy that I visibly looked thirsty for a moment. He had his face against the pillow, only his eyes showing as he watched me through the phone while he stayed lying down on his stomach.

My yelp made him laugh a little before taking a deep breath and silently staring at me.

"Why don’t you sleep already? You look very tired," I said, trying to sound normal.

"No! I am at peace like this." He extended his arm and grabbed the phone, rolling onto his back and lying down straight while holding his phone. My eyes hungrily watched his chest and abs before I gulped.

"I miss you, Helanie," he said, no smirking, no teasing.

"I don’t," I shrugged.

"Don’t tease me right now. Be a good girl and say it back," he demanded, his eyes staring without blinking.

"Well, I don’t," I continued.

He started nodding his head while clicking his tongue. He suddenly sat up, and my frown became visible.

"What are you doing?" I asked when I noticed he had put on his shirt but didn’t button it up and grabbed his car keys.

"What are you doing?" I asked again, but he didn’t respond.

"What time is it?" he asked, but more like to himself. He narrowed his eyes on his phone and nodded his head more aggressively.

"It’s 9:30 p.m., Maximus. Go back to bed," I warned him not to do anything stupid, but he didn’t respond, not until he was in his car and already driving.

"Can you at least tell me what you’re doing?" I asked after getting too annoyed with his silence. He was driving while half asleep. I was worried for him. Did he forget some important chore that made him leave so suddenly?

"I’ll be there by 2-something," he whispered, the phone sitting on his dashboard.

"What? Maximus, have you lost your mind? Don’t you know how dangerous it is to be out and about after we killed Rune?" I panicked for him. He was always like that, cared less about anything and did whatever he thought was right in the moment.

"You wanted me to say it. I will say it." I instantly started to yap, but he smirked, not even stopping.

"I’m coming over there whether you say it or not. Keep that attitude, I’ll see how you fold when I’m in front of you," he said confidently, making me groan in frustration.

"Why are you so stubborn?" I hissed at him.

"Because of you, my love. You made me stubborn and shameless." He winked before looking back at the road. "Now sleep and rest well. It’ll be some time before I get there."

"No! You’re staying on video call with me," I demanded, and he sighed, grinning like a fool.

"No! I’m not keeping you awake with me. I mean, you’ll be awake the rest of the night once I get there. So go ahead and rest. Let me drive. Your face is a distraction. I don’t want to park my car on the side of the road to beat my meat." He was honestly so shameless, saying things with no filter.

My body would shudder whenever he acted that way.

"But—" before I could protest, he hung up on me. I grunted in annoyance. The outside world was scary these days, and he was thinking about playing a game.

I tried calling him a few times, but he told me he would get into an accident if I didn’t leave him alone, so I let him be. However, I was worried. I lay down in bed, wondering if maybe he would realize how stupid it was and go back home. While staring at the clock on my phone, I dozed off and only woke up to my phone vibrating in my hand.

The amount of sleep I had gotten made me wonder if hours had passed and I was right.

The Horny One: Come outside. I am waiting for you.
